New growth causing lack of color?
During the past 1-2 months my green hulk colony started to have a major growth spurt. I just recently notice the main beaches losing all it's color and is a lot thinner than the new growth. Is this because it's growing so fast and blocking all the lights from the branches below? How do I counter this? Take out clippers n cut off all the new growth or just let the thing be?

The new growth will always be white until it colours up, i wouldn't go cutting the new growth as it grows it will all colour back up

Maybe the new growth is blocking some of the light of the bottom

i guess i can trim some of the top branches off... a lot of my other sps are losing color is it because my Cheap LEDS are losing its effectiveness after a year or so? or because i have phosphate? i hate how it takes months for a tank to finally look good and days for it to go to shiit

I've found with my higher-up SPS that too much light causes them to grow spindly/colorless
Maybe just back-off your lighting a tiny bit and see what happens I bleached all mine 'cause my lights were too much for them with my light bio-load; not enough food in the water column Just go slow Nothing good happens fast Don't make major changes, and keep a record of what you do so you can track what is going on |

Watch your corals and if they continue to lose color, put your lights back where they were to start with, and then make changes slowly from there Quote:
